    News at 10 to be 10 minutes shorter

    The BBC is to cut 10 minutes from News at 10 in order to appeal to a younger audience.

    Seems like millennials don't have an attention span longer than 30 minutes, which coincidently is the same length as each soap episode....just saying!

    Not far wrong.

    So many articles on the web will now show average reading time - often below 5 minutes

    and the the annoying TL;DR - which generally means I have the attention span of a gnat and if I have to spend more than 5 minutes reading something someone else has wrote rather than talking about me I am not interested.

    Imagine it

      I don't usually have an attention span longer than the headlines.

      They tell you all you need to know, and the rest is generally a load of waffle.

                  Says the person who starts a thread there and the second post in said thread is the same person, strange that, isn't it?
                  Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
